Cisco 7200 Series Overview
The Cisco 7200 series consists of the four-slot Cisco 7204 and the six-slot Cisco 7206. The
Cisco 7200 series routers support multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide
variety of protocols and any combination of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed
Data Interface (FDDI), and serial media. Network interfaces reside on port adapters that provide a
connection between the routers’ three Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses and external
networks. Port adapters can be placed in any available port adapter slot, in any desired combination.
The front of the Cisco 7200 series routers provides access to an Input/Output (I/O) controller and up
to four or six network interface port adapters. The I/O controller has a local console port for
connecting a data terminal (or data terminal equipment [DTE]) and an auxiliary port for connecting
a modem (or other data communications equipment [DCE]) or other devices for configuring and
managing the router; two Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
slots for Flash memory cards; and an optional Fast Ethernet port. The Fast Ethernet port provides a
100-Mbps connection to the network. Figure 1 shows the Cisco 7204. Figure 2 shows the
Cisco 7206.
Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. Figure 1 and Figure 2
show an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port.
